Ranji Trophy Plate Division League

Assam post 32-run win over Kerala:

Silchar, Nov 26: Some fine bowling by the spinner Bichitra Baruah enabled Assam to post a 32-run victory against Kerala in their Ranji Trophy Plate Division match here today.

On the final day of the four-day match at the Satindra Mohan Dev Stadium here, the Assam bowlers snapped off the Kerala tail within 12 overs as they were all out for 233. Bichitra picked up three wickets while Sauvik Das bagged one.

The visitors were in a tight situation yesterday losing six wickets for 200 after chasing a winning target of 266. P Prasanth, with an unbeaten knock of 80 yesterday, was their lone hope. But his dismissal at 83, Kerala’s hopes ended in smoke as they lost the remaining three wickets for 29 runs. NG Nair (12), S Anish (4) and P Chandran (6) were the other Kerala batsmen out today while T Yohanan remained unbeaten on 7. With today’s three wickets Bichitra’s match-haul became four for 13 in his 18-over spell. With this victory Assam gathered five points.
